Blue Circle and back to the new spot

Today was the day fossil hunters all over South Carolina (and other surrounding states) have been waiting for - the Blue Circle open dig. I arrived promptly at 8 and found that they were actually letting us drive down into the pit. That was cool. The last time I went, it was quite a long walk. I got ready and ran as if I were a moron to the awaiting ubiquitous mounds of spoil. No teeth here, or there, or anywhere, at first. Not satisfied with the front of the mine, I spent 30 minutes walking to the back of the mine. I now know that was the absolute wrong place to be, but hey, hindsight is 20/20. At the end of the day, I had a pocketfull of little teeth. The best was a 1" sand tiger. Then I met up with some others who had slightly better luck than myself. Da fossz was there, and he found 3 giant Auriculatis teeth. I'm, telling ya. He's BAD! T Money made the journey and came away with a nice rick, too. The prize of the day went to a member of the NC Fossil Club (I think) who found the best rick I have ever seen. It was at least 3 1/2" long and flawless, Blond, every serration, oh man. They don't get any better. He said he found it 5 minutes after getting there. I would have just gone home then. How could the day be any better after a find like that? Anyway, the mine produced nicely today. It was the best day I have seen in a while, just not for me :-(
